4/1/2023 Day 1 of National Poetry Month

we’re beginning to dream as the weather warms

Day 1 of the ongoing — daily poetry madness — hope y’all enjoy

In response to Sharon Olds;
"This creature of the poem may 
assemble itself into a being with its 
own centrifugal force."-- Sharon Olds 
(With a call out to Sharon Leigh for 
bringing it to my attention)

spinning, spinning, spinning

the world cracks -- out of one into this
there -- a King Kong figure -- although
we’re uncertain -- too big -- occludes
the sun -- but we remember -- running
running -- joyfully -- in leaps  -- bounds
so big -- how big were they -- creating
their own gravity -- our blood responds
in tides -- centrifugal -- gravitational 
a  crushing force -- in opposition -- at
an angle -- you to me -- we become
lighter -- greater -- to jump buildings
in a single bound -- free to storm
heaven -- here -- tangled in sheets
arrange the day -- sun rises -- we’ll
write -- we’ll sit -- we’ll eat -- certain
encounters inevitable -- the birds --
the weather -- the impact of age --
placed along the day -- verisimilitude
this is ‘real’ -- we say -- hiding the
rest -- along this fold --
                                      -- right here
                                   -- earth
                                      -- sun
                                   -- galaxy

spinning, spinning, spinning, spin --
ing.

Much love!
